i read a ton of threads about the 12 inch cables being super long. I could EASILY use these cables with 16's the burly box had the right part number on it and said "12 Inch". I dont get it. I may call burly tomorrow and see what they say. I ordered them because it was a price efficient way of doing it and it cam with everything that was needed. I honestly didnt think theyd be that long. I should have listened to the 1000 posts about it. I may just change the cables out one by one, or just buy the 14 inch apes.........

Yeah........I don't know why the 12 kit is so long. It looks like the same size as the 14 inch kit. I guess what I'm saying, is if I used those same cables, looking at your picture, my bike wouldn't change. I'm seriously thinking they use the same kit. Hang on let me look at your pic again. Wow those are long......Somebody might be getting fired in the shipping department....LOL In all honesty my kit could probably fit the 16 inch bars which makes me wonder if all three have the same length.

Default Chicken shit...
So I'm to chicken shit to swap my drag bars for my burly 14 inch minis and wire kit. I just can't find any good write ups. I watched that quicky online video but it leaves a lot of open questions. I'd go for it with a good step by step.....

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
